Tt,is pt riposal was a thunderbolt to me; for I had papers of some importance; and many tit them, it too nicely viewed, might have brought me to the block however, I affected ; and as the number was too great t 6 hr examinet4 in one night, I took care to cast in his way insie niticant s, or pieces which I supposed h e would scarcely understand. This puzzled hint vastly ; and soon losing patience, be con cluded I was not the person w.lone he was charged to arrest but resolved not to quit the house with out a capture : he turned to a feiond of mine, lodging under the same roof, and finding on his table a letter just received front Germany, in which riere happened to be a few suspicions words, he biirried him away to prison, where he was mug. dcred a few days after, without any form of trial. " This horrid catastrophe convincing me more and more, that the most innocent papers might become an awful tool in the hands of tbe ruling party, I resolved to sacrifice all these I had in my possession, though many of them were dear to toe, and of real importance. Two days were spent in this painful task ; and lo.ppy 1 was io have bad the thought ; for the job seas hardly over, when my house was assaulted a second time, but in midday, and with all the form of a regular pursuit : one hundred men, at least, wera em ployed on this occasion. My papers were searched with a far more attentive eye than before : the inquest laved until three o'clock in the morning. But 211 suspicious pieces having been destroyed, and no charge appearing against me, I was once more re,tored to peace. I cannot, however, hot recollect with gratitude, a singular instance of the - protection of God, which I received on the occa sion tor, notwithstanding all my care to destroy whatever papers could bring suspicions upon ne e, A letter just received from the agent of Monsieur (now Lewis XVIII.) had escaped my notice: it betrayed ire very clear terms all my connections with the court. The villains had it in their hands; but being fatigued, did nor thiuk of giving it a glance. I myself wl4 unaware of its existence ; but meeting it a few days after, and calling to mind in whose possession it had been, all my blood chilled in my veins ; and 1 could not but acknowledge with gratitude, on this, though seemingly insignificant occurrence, the hand of - all-ruling Providence." T. escape from the persecution which menaced bis safety, the Abbe retired to Choisy, hut was soon called from his retreat by the Archbishop of Pods, who being obliged to fly from his diocese, transferred to him the charge of his flock—" An willl trust," observes the Abbe, " at any time, but in the horrid confusion that then prevailed, a trust far beyond my capacity or strength. How ever, •I deemed it a duty to comply ; and from that day all toy thoughts were bent. upon return ing to Paris. lint, as 1 was debating in my own mind the different measures to he taken, in order to discharge the trust with HS little danger as po,. sible for myself, 1 trust still more awful was thrown in tov way. '' The unfortunate Lewis XVI. foreseeing to what lengths the malice of his enemies was likely to go, and tesolved to be !rebated, at all events, cast his eves on me to assist him in his last mo ments, if condemned to die ; but wrildd not make any application to the ruling party, nor eves men tion my name wit hunt my consent. The message he sent was moving beyond expression, and worded in a manner which I never shall forget. A King, though in chains, had a right to coin sland ; but he commanded not. Nly attendaoce was requested, merely as a pledge of toy affection for Lim—as a favour which he hoped I would not refuse : hut, as the service was likely to he at teode4 with some danger for me, he dared nor in if bist, and only prayed (in case I deemed the danger to be too great) to point out to hint a clergyman worthy of his confidence, but less known than I was myself; leaving the person absolutely to my choice." We conclude these extracts with the inter- Isting passage in which the Abbe describes his almost,miracnlous.escape from the perils to which be had !mut) exposed by heroic fidelity " You will undoubtedly 'be curious to know by what luck" escaped the danger, which both ft iends and foes apprehended on this .occasion, for my life. To this, the only ans xer Lean give is, that I really know it not : all that I ofin say is, that as soon as the fatal blow was given, I fell upon my knees, and thus remained until the vile wretch, who acted the principal part in this horrid trage dy, came with shouts of joy, showing the bleeding head to the mob, and sprinkling the with the blood that streamed from it. Then, indeed, thought it time to quit the scaffold ; but casting -rny eyes round about, T saw myself invested by twenty or thirty thousand men in arms; and to pierce the crowd, seemed to me a foolish attempt. However, as I mast take that party, or by re maining, kt,p-pe*r to share the public joy, my only resource was, t•e.recommend myself to Providence, and steer m y course towards the side on which the ranks seemed to have less depth, AU eyes were fixed on me, as you may suppose; but as soon as reached the first line, to my great surprise, no resistance was made : the second Nue opened in the same manner; and when 1 gat to the fourth or fifth, my coat heing a common surtont (for I was not permitted, on this occasi-ou, to wear any exterior marks of a priest), I.,vas absolutely lost in time crowd, and no more ooticed than if 1 had been a simple spectator of a aceae which for ever iiiskonour France."

Selret Committee appointed to consider of thc• L4ws, mud to report their ohaeryations thercopoo trout time to time to 'lit flo.ise, have, porstuant to the Older of the fionse, considered the same accordingly, and agreed to the following Report : _ • The Committee appointed by the House in the last Session of Parliament having in their Report presented to the hose such a comparative view of the assessments for the relief of the poor at ditferept periods as the matetials which they then possessed enabled them to form, have now to make some important additions and corrections to suelm statement. For they hare been firnished with some returns, made in pursuance of ihe or ders of the [louse, of the assessments in the years 1748. 1749, and 1730 ; which were not known to exist, till they were discovered by the researches of Mr. Speaker into the Records of the [louse during the recess. And thoti2b those accounts, ft om all the counties, except lour, appear to have been more or less deficient, yet it will be found, by a reference to the appendix, that such deti• ciencies have been supplied by the assiduity Of Mr. Hickman, one of the Cletks Assistant, in a way that will probably he thought to render them sufficiently accurate for the pmpose of compari son with those of subsequent years. Nor is this the only advantage to be derived from those do cuments ; for it limS stiggotted a inure situ nary method of obtaining similar information, it' it should be required by the House, through the promrt and eifectnal means of the Post-Office. tru e 1-1 0 , ise h a v e n ow Hip', at length, in their possession, the returns mide tinder the Act 55 Geo. 111., of the assess in ruts for the years end ing 25th March 1813, 1814. and 1815, embracing an abundant and valuable mass of intottnatiou.— From these it will .appear, that the abstract of the Assessment for the year ending 25th March, 1815, which was returned to time Committee in the last Session, and printed in the Appendix to their Report, was materially incorrect, in conse quence of mistakes made in preparing it, and defi ciencies existing at that time in their returns, which were wholly unnoticed. The whole sum raised by assessment in that year was stated to amount to 7,068,9991. ; whereas it was really 7,457,6751. ; the sum expended on time poor was stated to be 5,072,0281. instead of 5,418,8451. The result of the whole of these additions and corrections will afford the following comparative view of the sums rsised by assessment, and the sums expended on the poor, at the diffetent pe riods to which these authentic documents relate: Total rained.

AS3IZE INTELLIGENCE, WORTE - STER. BREACH of PROMISE of MARRIAGE and SEDUCTION• HALFORD V. RICHARDSON. • • This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a farmer, residing at Broadway, in this county, against the defendant, who is also s. farmer, living at Laverton, parish of Buckland. in the county of Gloucester, for a compensation for the seiloction and loss of services of hif daughter, Miss Ann Ha!lord. Mr. PULLER stated the declaration to the Jury. and Mr. Jeavis detailed the circumstances of the case to them in doing which, he stated that the present was an action which any parent would most unwilling bring into open Court, were he nut compelled by the call of justice to do The plaintiff, Mr. Edward Ualford, resided at Broadway ; and the defendant, Mr. John Rich.. archon, lived at Laverton, in Gloucester, and its the year 1810 was attracted to the House of the' plaintiff by an attachment to one of his daughters.. He was received into the family of the plaintiff under the impression that his intentions were fair and honourable. There appeared to be a reci procity of affection, which however, unhappily, for both families, terminated in the disgrace of both. In one unguarded moment, when reason had deserted her throne, to the unspeakable sorro.° l of her parents, the young lady fell a' victim to the arts of the defendant. She became a mother, and thus the plaintiff was deprived of her valuable see' vices. His visits had been received under an ex pectation that he would make her his lawful wife; but on the 12th May, 1817, a Lady of more top* tune having presented herself to his view, he mar' ried her, and the plaintiff was compelled to t hee`' himself under the protection of a Jury of his coull try for a pecuniary compensation ; anti any mages which they should award would he wretche4l indeed, when compared with the unspeakab le sorrow and disgrace to which the family had beer' exposed by the artifices of the defendant. Under these circumstances it would be unnecessary for him to attempt to excite the feelings of the Jury; for as fathers and husbands they must feel what was due to a father upon the loss of his child. Miss Ann Halford, the young woman, stiff" the case of her pregnancy. But no proof of ail promise of marriage was given. he used to d' ) the work of her father's house as a servant. Mr. DAUNCEY rose to address the Jury in mite gation of damages. The transaction co mplaine a of tools place in the year 1812, and he was yo'f addressing a Jury of fathers in 1818, and it ws l s not a little extraordinary that fi ve years sbo ul "' elapse before the action was thought of. 'Dr; young woman in the present case had not 58 01 any thing to prove that the defendant made promise of marriage ; for she had said that fill li e stated was, that he had no intention to slight her; and therefore it was not before the Ju r y that A breach of promise of marriage h ad been cornwit. fed on the present occasion ; and when she o'ss asked if he came to her father's house to address. her, site quietly said , " Oh, ye 3, he addres sed me, and said he would not slight me."
